    Abstract: An SOI semiconductor device includes a first wafer having an active semiconductor layer and a first oxide layer and a second wafer having a semiconductor substrate and a second oxide layer, the first oxide layer being bonded to the second oxide layer, and one of the first wafer and the second wafer includes a nitride layer. The nitride layer can be formed between the semiconductor substrate and the second oxide layer. A third oxide layer can be formed on the semiconductor substrate and the nitride layer is formed between the second oxide layer and the third oxide layer. The nitride layer can be formed between the active semiconductor layer and the first oxide layer. The first wafer can include a third oxide layer formed on the active semiconductor layer and the nitride layer is formed between the third oxide layer and the first oxide layer.

    Abstract: A transistor includes a bulk semiconductor substrate, and first and second raised source/drain regions above the bulk semiconductor substrate. A gate is between the first and second raised source/drain regions. A first dielectric section is beneath the first raised source/drain region in the bulk semiconductor substrate, and a second dielectric section is beneath the second raised source/drain region in the bulk semiconductor substrate. A first air gap is defined in at least the first dielectric section under the first raised source/drain region, and a second air gap is defined in at least the second dielectric section under the second raised source/drain region. The air gaps reduce off capacitance of the bulk semiconductor structure to near semiconductor-on-insulator levels without the disadvantages of an air gap under the channel region.

    Abstract: A transistor includes a bulk semiconductor substrate, and a first source/drain region in the bulk semiconductor substrate separated from a second source/drain region in the bulk semiconductor substrate by a channel region. A first air gap is defined in the bulk semiconductor substrate under the first source/drain region, and a second air gap is defined in the bulk semiconductor substrate under the second source/drain region. A gate is over the channel region. A spacing between the first air gap and the second air gap is greater than or equal to a length of the channel region such that the first and second air gaps are not under the channel region. The air gaps may have a rectangular cross-sectional shape. The air gaps reduce off capacitance of the bulk semiconductor structure to near semiconductor-on-insulator levels without the disadvantages of an air gap under the channel region.
